Artist Statement:

My work surveys peripheral landscapes, bringing the banal and everyday into focus. Ranging from drawing to installation, it is an exploration of change in the natural and built environments full of everyday weeds, lawns, streets and billboards. Images of roadside landscapes full of signs or dense thickets of invasive weeds create mutated landscapes—alien-but-familiar spaces in a continuous state of flux. My work reflects the imposition of the human influence on the land, questioning ways land is constructed, changed, understood. My work is a meditation on the structures and surfaces in the landscape; what was once a banal eyesore becomes something worthy of notice.
